From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 169

According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, the garrison troops in any place cannot leave their posts without permission, which is a serious crime.

Especially the Beijing Camp, because it is responsible for the peace of the capital and the security of the imperial city, and if it is transferred without permission, it is a crime of rebellion.

Let alone Zhang Xiang, even if it is Yong'an Bo Cao Ye, it must not be easily transferred without the imperial decree.

But who raises soldiers and does not use them privately these days?

Most military officers do not understand the way of doing business, and can only make money from the fields. There are so many farms, and they can't all ask tenants to cultivate them, right? That also costs money.

But the soldiers are young and strong, hardworking, and they are supported by military funds. How can they not use the free labor?

Everyone does this when the soldiers in the camp are private soldiers, but they dare not use too many people. The court often turns a blind eye and does not pursue it as long as the Censorate does not report it.

But now, this new southerner wants to report it?

Damn it, this guy is a scoundrel! Can such a thing be said openly?

Zhang Xiang took a deep breath and said coldly: "Want to let me suffer in silence? Don't even think about it! This is a soldier of my Beijing Camp! He secretly entered Shenjing to perform official duties and had something to discuss with the North City Military Department."

"However, the newly appointed commander of the North City Military Department made an order without authorization to kill his fellow soldiers. He committed a heinous crime and deserved death."

It's just throwing dirty water! I can do such a thing!

For a while, Zhang Xiang was a little happy and felt that his brain had become smarter.

Zhou Yuan smiled lightly and suddenly said: "Governor! Where is the governor?"

Don't call me, what does this have to do with me!

The middle-aged governor was about to cry and was nervous when he heard Zhou Yuan's voice.

He came to Zhou Yuan with sweat on his forehead and forced a smile: "Commander, what do you want?"

Zhou Yuan said loudly: "The Fifth Army Battalion came to the inner city of Shenjing to do business, and there was a misunderstanding with my North City Military Department. More than ten soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion died. This is a big case. Hurry up and take my token to the Ministry of War and report to the Minister!"

"Ah?"

The middle-aged governor was really about to cry. He didn't even want to get involved in such a hot matter!

Zhang Xiang's face also changed. If this matter spread, the higher-ups would definitely investigate in detail what they came to Shenjing to do. If they couldn't explain it, and so many lives were lost, then it would be over.

Moreover, more than ten people of the Fifth Army Battalion were killed by the soldiers of the North City Military Department. If this spread out, wouldn't the Fifth Army Battalion become a laughing stock?

"Wait! Wait, wait!"

Zhang Xiang yelled, ran to Zhou Yuan, and said coldly: "Boy! Don't be ungrateful! I'm giving you a chance to admit your mistake!"

"You apologize in front of everyone, and tie up fifty murderers for us to deal with, and this matter will be exposed."

"If you really want to fight to the death, the Fifth Army Camp will accompany you to the end, but can you afford it?"

Zhou Yuan's face darkened.

He stepped back a few steps and suddenly said in a stern voice: "Zhang Xiang! You are unworthy of being a superior! You actually said such nonsense!"

This voice scared everyone present!

Zhou Yuan shouted, "It's obviously you who are arrogant and domineering in the Fifth Army Camp. We killed Cao Ning because he broke into our North City Military Division and treated our 4,000 troops like ants and grass, and openly bullied us. Now you are talking about doing things and misunderstandings!"

"What's more hateful is that you actually asked me to tie up 50 murderers for you to deal with!"

Many soldiers around changed their faces. Let him deal with it. Isn't it just arranging a crime to kill him!

Zhou Yuan was full of anger, and said word by word: "Someone broke into the military department! My Beicheng Sibing was protecting himself, but you slandered me as a murderer! You even asked me to betray my brothers!"

"Zhang Xiang! I tell you! I don't care how high your status is! My brothers are brave and good at fighting, and they defend their own guards. This is loyal to their duties!"

"Not only will I not betray them, I will reward them!"

"The Sibing who just killed someone will be rewarded with three months' salary and promoted one level!"

"This is the answer I give you!"

"If you have any anger, just vent it on me, Zhou Yuan! It's good that I, Zhou Yuan, am a southerner, a scholar, and a newcomer without a backer!"

"But even if I die! I will not betray my brothers! My brothers!"

Many Sibing around clenched their fists, their faces flushed, and they felt their blood boiling in their hearts and their noses a little sour.

This is our commander-in-chief! What bastards they were before!

One of the young soldiers couldn't help but yelled: "Commander-in-chief! I will die with you!"

One stone caused a thousand waves, countless soldiers half-knelt down and yelled in unison: "We are willing to die with you!"

Zhang Xiang was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at Zhou Yuan's nose and said: "You! You dare to use me!Buy people's hearts!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Everyone has a heart. Who is good to him and who is disdainful of him, everyone can see it clearly, why buy it?"

"My Beicheng Bingmasi is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and established by the court! The soldiers of my Bingmasi are also upright soldiers!"

"Although what we do is not so grand, we are also serving His Majesty and protecting the capital!"

"Why should you be superior? Why should I be bullied by you?"

"Are we not as loyal as you? Are we not as hard-working as you?"

Everyone below stood up and couldn't help shouting.

Zhou Yuan's words can be said to have touched the most sensitive part of their hearts!

They had an indescribable resonance!

Zhou Yuan said: "You rely on your status to come here to show off your power. More than a hundred people dare to break into the Bingmasi Hutong with knives! ”

“Do you think that the soldiers of our Beicheng Bingmasi can’t stand up, can’t lift their swords, and can’t kill people!”

“Roar!”

Countless soldiers roared and raised their swords!

Zhou Yuan said calmly: “Master Zhang, did you see that? These are the soldiers of my Beicheng Bingmasi! The days when we were bullied by others are gone forever!”

“From now on, Zhou Yuan will make decisions for them!”

An old soldier roared: “We are willing to die for you!”

“We were willing to die for you!”

The roar was so deafening and powerful that Zhang Xiang couldn’t help but step back a few steps!

His face turned pale and he was so angry that he stuttered.

“Okay… okay… Zhou Yuan, right? Okay! Just wait! I will settle this account with you sooner or later! ”

He knew that he could not do anything at this moment. He could not just charge in with such a small number of people. It would be a waste of time.

This conflict was already big enough, and the governor had to deal with it personally.

So Zhang Xiang said coldly: "Give us the bodies of my five army camp soldiers, we want to take them away!"

Zhou Yuan said proudly: "This case is very important. I'm sorry that I can't obey your order. We will obey the order of the Shangshu for the disposal of the bodies."

"You!"

Zhang Xiang's murderous intent was exposed, and he said coldly: "Mr. Zhou, you should think clearly, these bodies will eventually bite you back!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "No matter how big the storm is, I Zhou Yuan can take it. If Mr. Zhang is not convinced, we can go to the Holy Lord and argue!"

Zhang Xiang stomped his feet in anger and shouted: "Bastard! Bastard! You will be unlucky!"

"Let's go! "

He waved his hand and left quickly with the rest of the people.

Zhou Yuan shouted: "Gather in the square! Reward according to merit! I, Zhou Yuan, will stick to my words and never break them!"

More than 2,000 soldiers raised their swords and shouted, their faces flushed with excitement.

Today is really a great day!
